Aegean Theatre - IAP charts

Don´t worry for the height. In spite of all these years flying still I don´t rely on the machines

Hi guys.
Well after the IAP (Instrument Approach Procedure) chart for Nea Anchialos and Balikesir airbases, now it’s time for the IAP chart of Tanagra and the Departure chart for Nea Anchialos.
Below you can see a preview of the charts that are a jpg photo,
IAP chart of Tanagra airbase in Greece:
Departure chart for Nea Anchialos airbase in Greece:
Download both charts (and also the 2 previous) and the updated NavAids for Nea Anchialos, Tanagra and Balikesir airbases (just to work without conflicts) from here (instructions included in the zip file), file “4_Aegean_charts.zip” 1.36 MB (hit at “Download”):

http://www.slingfile.com/file/oyZviQ1eGYIf still can’t get the zip file, you can e-mail me at: [email protected] to reply to you with the file attached.
Print the jpg photos to A4 paper size (21X29.7 cm or 8.3X11.7 inches).
Then copy the “stations+ils.dat” file to correct location, just like the “Installation instructions.txt” said.
All the data from Tanagra IAP chart and Balikesir IAP chart are conformal with the updated NavAids, but in the IAP chart of Nea Anchialos the tower UHF and VHF frequencies are different, so even if the IAP chart gives UHF / VHF frequencies: 257.80 / 122.10 please use them: UHF / VHF frequencies: 257.85 / 122.15 for Nea Anchialos! At the Departure chart of Nea Anchialos the UHF / VHF frequencies are correct!
TACAN range for Nea Anchialos is 100 NM, for Tanagra is 100 NM and for Balikesir is 25 NM.SOME USEFUL INFOS ABOUT THE PROCEDURES:
1) In order to have a perfect alignment with runway centerline and because of the fact that the DME of the last waypoint has a decimal digit, you must insert GPS coordinates of TACAN station over a steerpoint and make this steerpoint current, so you can turn to final approach course aligned with runway centreline at exactly DME of last waypoint!
You also must set the Instr mode to NAV and set the appropriate course at HSI, e.g. for final approach segment for Balikesir is 355 and for final approach segment for Nea Anchialos is 270.
2) It is critical that at FAF waypoint (or steerpoint) be at precise altitude with landing gears down and air brakes extended. Then at FAF DME start your descent with 2.5 degrees. There is an intermediate waypoint between FAF and last waypoint (that you turn to final approach course) just for altitude check and minor corrections.
3) Missed approach turn and holding turns must be executed with turn radius of 1.1 DME (N.M.), meaning IAS 200 knots and bank angle of 30 degrees.
4) Turns to join the arc (11,12 and 13 DME) and to leave it, must be executed with IAS 250 knots and bank angle of 30 degrees.
- The charts are under scale, so they are extremely precise. Everything has precise bearing, distance and altitude.If you want to ask something about the procedure, something that you don’t understand, please feel free to do that. My pleasure to help you.
I hope to enjoy also these 2 new charts for Aegean theater.
With my regards and from all other “Aegean Theater Team” members.

I´ll try it!

Thank you very much

A valuable addition for realism freaks like me. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much:D

Hi my friend Thorsten.
Thank you for your kindly words.
When you find some time, give them a try. It’s worth that :p.
Also thanks all of you guys for your good comments and support!
It’s really very nice to see that your work just liked by the people that created for !
I will continue the good work as all the rest members of the Aegean Theater Team.
See you people (Aegean theater fans)…
Nikos. -
Thank you very much
Today is your birthday my good friend Dragan :p!
So happy birthday and my best wishes to you mate :birt: :blowpar:.
You may be fully with health…
Your friend Nikos. -
Thank you my Friend Nikos, we have a sunny day in Germany:D
your friend Dragan;)

Thorst.
This is the part i like most, Falcon BMS forun join us like a big family :p!
Well Thorsten our friend Dragan “BlueEyes” is an Aegean theater fan, like you mate and myself ;).
See you my friends.

Landing at LGBL using TACAN. Good enough Niko??
-
perhaps a little explanation in flight would not be bad - nice vid M8
-
But then you would hear my (not so nice) voice and not the song.
I’m merely trying to follow the chart. Stay on the arc at 12 miles, cruise at 250knots and follow the signs. Cross radial 117 (i used 118 :() at 4000ft, start your final turn at radial 098 and follow radial 090 all the way in. Cross ANL10 at 2400ft (more or less) and by ANL6 at 1340ft be in landing configuration. Final check at ANL3 at 420ft. Land if runway is in sight.
I was lucky enough not to have to do it all over again -
flying the chart it´s not that easy - takes a bit of training
but I bet - you made Nikos happy - for shure !!
You did a good job my friend.
ohhhh btw TANAGRA it´s nice to - just did that myself.
Ehhhh Nikos - good job like always - thx for PM´S and support.

Hi my good friend Reinhard.
Thank you very much for your kindly words.
Always a pleasure for me to see my friends and the Aegean theater fans (also my friends) happy ;)!
Also i’m glad to be helpful mate.
See you at the next Aegean theater gift, when the time comes…
With my regards.

Hi my good friend Taki.
Well about your execution of the RWY26 TACAN procedure to Nea Anchialos airbase:- At start you follow the ANL 12 DME arc very close and with correct rate of descent (this it appears at R-117). Almost perfect.
- At ANL R-117 (R-118 as you said, so minor mistake) you were at 4,040 ft. Almost perfect (4,000 ft.) if you had set the R-117!
- At ANL LR-098 it seems that you start the turn 4 degrees sooner, because the CDI line is not centered, it is just 1 deg. below the 1st dot (means 5 deg.).
- At ANL R-090/10 DME you were at 2,360 ft. Almost perfect (2,400 ft.).
- Finally at ANL R-089/2.4 DME and at 450 ft. you started the final turn to 260 deg. heading to runway 26 of Nea Anchialos.
Here you have made the biggest variation of the execution and unfortunately at the most important section of the execution. You should start your final turn at ANL R-090/2.5 DME at 420 ft. So this 1 deg. variation on Radial and the 0.1 DME variation at distance force you to make this S turn to put your aircraft on correct approach.
In general you made a very good execution of the specific approach!
But if you have had a low fog or night with rain, obviously you should execute a missed approach and started again.
The key to be very well aligned with runway centerline is to have the CDI centered (max. variation 0.5 deg.) at the DME of the last steerpoin (waypoint) and start the turn to runway heading exactly at this DME!
I see a lot of Falcon pilots try to keep the heading of the chart at final section which is from FAF waypoint to last waypoint, for this approach is from ANL R-090/6 DME to ANL R-090/2.5 DME.
But they forget that in Falcon BMS we have an active wind, so this is a big mistake. The only thing to care is to keep the CDI centered to your final course (for this approach is 270 deg.).
Personally i never try to do this and always try to keep my CDI centered to final course. Then start my final turn EXACTLY at the DME of the last waypoint and this guides me almost perfect aligned to runway centerline (it depends from the wind direction and the strength of it).So Taki congratulations for your try and see you at Tanagra Approach with even better execution. I’m sure you can :p.
With my regards.
Nikos.
